To all wiaom. it may 0011((3/21 Be it known that I, EDNA A. NEIMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing in Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, city of New York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Containers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

1y invention relates to containers and refers particularly to containers suitable for holding and retaining certain toilet requisites.

The object of my invention is a container capable of carrying a number of toilet requisites, such as, powder compacts, lip sticks,

eyebrow pencils, etc.

Another object of my invention is a container of the above described character which will be simple'of construction, easy of operation, compact in size and of ornamental appearance.

The container of my invention possesses all of these valuable features, as will be evident upon a consideration of my specification and drawings.

In the drawings accompanying this application, illustrating one form of the device of my invention, similar by similar numerals.

Figure 1- is a perspective view of one form of my device in closed position,

Figure 2 is of Figure 1 with powder compacts and powder pufis in position.

F igure 3 is an enlarged broken cross-section showing one compact container in open position.

Figure 4 is a View of one of the tubes for receiving a cosmetic stick.

Figure 5 is a sectional view of a modified tube with inserted cosmetic stick.

The particular form of my device, shown in the accompanying drawings, comprises a casing, or body, formed by the top member 10, the side members 11, 12, 13 and 14, the sides 12 and 14 being connected by the integral band 15. The sides 11 and 13 have oppositely opposed holes 16, 16 and 17, 17 in alignment with each other. A bottom plate 18 is fixedly attached to the sides 11, 12, 13 and 14; forming a chamber with these sides and the top 10, the plate. 18 being extended downwardly and then upwardly to form the wall, or partition, 19, the lower extremity of the wall 19 being fixedly attached to the in Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed April 11, 1921.

parts are designated a section through the line 2-2 the closed form Patented Jell 11, 1922. Serial No. 460,594.

tenor face of Situated within the chamber formed by the top 10, the sides 11, 12, 13 and 14 and the plate 18 and opposite each series of holes 16, 16 and 17, 17 is a tube 20, havingthe end flanges 21, 21 and the split portion 22 bent slightly inwardly. Each side of the wall 19 carries a mirror 23, held in place by an annular band 24. A container, formed by the annular side 25, and the bottom 26, is attached to the memebr 18 by the h nge2 7, on each side of. the wall 19, the annular side 25 being of such size and position as to practically abut upon the face of the plate 18 and the face of the band 15, when the container is in a closed position. The hinge 27 is so positioned upon the plate 18 that the latter will act as a supporting means for the container when the latter is in an open position, as shown in Figure 3. An inwardly extended projection 36, of the band 15, is capable of placement within a depression 37 of the container side 25, maintaining the container from accidental opening.

A chain 28 is attached to the top 10' by means of the two staples 29, 29.

In use a cosmetic stick 30, as, for instance. an eyebrow pencil or a lip-stick is inserted through the opening 16, 16 or 17, 17 and a tube 20, the split member 22 maintaining the cosmetic stick from accidental displacement. A powder compact 31 is fixedly attached to the bottom 26 of each container and a powder uif 32 is laced thereon.

hile the evice is being carried, it is in the powder pufi's and compacts being enclosed and protected and the cosmetic sticks maintained in position.

When it is desired to use one of the powder compacts, its container is freed from engagement with the band 15 and allowed to assume the position shown in Figure 3, the powder puff thus being'exposed for use and the mirror is in view. Both containers may be opened for use at the same time.

In the modification, shown in Figure 5, the tube 20 has a threaded end portion 33 capable of meshment with the thread 34 of the cosmetic stick 30. A head 35 is carried by the cosmetic stick 30 for purposes of convenience. In the use of this modification, an opening is necessary in but one side for the insertion of the cosmetic stick.

It is evident that other re eptacles may be shown in Figures 1 and 2,"

readily inserted within the casing, orbody, for carrying hair pins or other similar articles.

I wall and a bottom, pivotally attached to the body at'opposite sides of the partition and capable of pivotal movement with respect to each other and means whereby the two containers may be maintained in parallel posi tion with theiropen tops facing each other.

2. In a container, in combination, a body member, a band carried by the body, a partition within the band, two containers, each formed by a side wall and a bottom, pivotally carried by the body, on opposite sides of the partition, means whereby each container may be swung towards the partition with its open portion facing the partition and means whereby each containermay be maintained ,in closed position.

3. In a container, in comblnation, a body member, means for maintaining a plurality of cosmetic sticks within the body, a band carried by the body, a partition within the band, two containers, each capable of retaining a powder compact and each formed by aside wall and a bottom, pivotally carried by the body on opposite sides of the partition, means whereby each container member,

may be swung towards the partition with its open portion facing the partition and means whereby each container may be retained in closed position.

4. In a container, in combination, a body means for maintaining a plurality of cosmetic sticks within the body, a band carried by the body, a partition within the band, two containers, each capable of retaining a powder compact and each formed by a side wall and a bottom, pivotally carried by the body on opposite sides of the parti tion, means whereby each container may be swung towards the partition with its open portion facing the partition, means for maintaining the containers in an open position at approximately right angles to the plane of partition and means whereby eac container may be maintained in 010 d position.

5. In a container, in combination, a body member, means for maintaining a plurality of cosmetic sticks within the body, a band carried by the body, a partition within the band, a mirror carried by each side of the partition, two containers, each capable of retaining a powder compact and each formed by a side wall and a bottom, pivotally carried -by the body on opposite sides of the partition, means whereby each container 'may be swung towards the partition with its open portion facing thepartition, means for maintaining the containers in an open position at approximately right angles to the plane of partition and means whereby each container may be maintained in closed position.
